With dissenting voices from Arsenal fans disappointed by news that Arsène Wenger plans to field a weakened team against Bayern Munich, and a 3-1 deficit to overcome it's no wonder the Arsenal manager looks apprehensive

So all those reports about Arsenal's weakened side seems to be tosh - everyone fell for some Wenger mind games - as Arsenal name a fairly strong side. Lukas Podolski and Jack Wilshere are still out but Santi Cazorla and Theo Walcott play

Not long after the hour mark Bayern almost equalise but are denied by keeper Lukasz Fabianski. Arjen Robben plays a give-and-go with Mandzukic Mandzukic and hares off in pursuit of the Croatian's lovely flick. He's clean through on goal but Carl Jenkinson gets across to force him to take the shot early and the Arsenal keeper pushes his shot wide. Fabianski put in a good performance, after starting his first senior game for 13 months

As the ball nestles a good few yards past the goalline Manuel Neuer pounces on it in order to waste some time. The Arsenal players attempt to grab the ball and run it back to the centre circle but Neuer's not giving it up so an untidy scrummage ensues

Alas Arsenal can't fashion the all important third goal. The final whistle goes and despite a brave effort by the Gunners, they're out of Europe again. The players stayed around after the final whistle to applaude the hardy fans who had travelled over to a cold Germany for the game. Final score: 0-2 (aggregate 3-2)
